This large deciduous tropical tree, 75' tall and indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, is listed as a rare tree and flower in India. The leaves, up to 6" long, are simple with serrate margin; it flowers in racemes which is cauliflorus; the yellow, reddish and pink flowers are stunning fragrant. These are 3" to 5" waxy aromatic smelling, pink and dark-red flowers growing directly on the bark of the trunk. The tree bears, directly on the trunk and main branches, large globose woody fruits; they look like big rusty cannonballs hanging in clusters, like balls on a string. . The long dangling fruity branches give the tree an unkempt appearance. The hard shells are used to make containers and utensils. Cannon ball flowers are considered of special significance in Buddhist culture in Sri Lanka. In Tamil Nadu, it is called Nagalingam flower. The sivalingam shape is visible at the center of the flower and snake shaped pollen is the specialty of this flower and it has very good fragrance. This rare flower can be used for Shiva Pooja.

Aren't these flowers just simply beautiful?! I feel like I'm in Hawaii lol. My smaller plumeria cutting finally blooms pink flowers! Usually, we would have to cut off the flower stalks (inflos) when starting new plumeria cuttings so they can grow roots but I couldn't resist. At least I know now what color this plumeria is...
Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months. Plumerias have thick stems, leathery leaves, and an abundance of flowers from early summer until fall. In the tropics, some varieties can grow to a height of over 30 feet! Plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. Plumerias are commonly planted in containers and make excellent cut flowers. I planted my plumeria cuttings back in January 7, 2016.

Looking through the tropical trees to the ocean, I saw these two catamarans framed by the vegetation
I'm one happy plumeria grower! My larger plumeria cutting was on a roll and thriving! Look at all that new leaf growth..oh yea! I was going to water it for the first time since I've planted the cutting back on January 7. I've read many times that I should wait until it has at least 4 well-developed leaves and then start watering (sparingly, maybe once a week or until soil is dry again). Overall, plumeria prefer to be on the drier side. I might have to start thinking about fertilizer next since spring was right around the corner. Grow, grow, grow!
